Pretty Mrs. Ruth Webb Winn, the Texas girl-wife who eloped to this city only to be arrested, fled the city with her companion, Rene Coward, today. Jumping their bond in recorder’s court. Coward forfeited $250 cash bond through his failure to appear to an swer the charge of disorderly conduct, and Mrs. Winn lost the SIOO which Coward put up to Insure her appear ance to answer the same accusation. The landlady at 66 Houston street, where the couple had been living since they ran away from El Paso, Texas, said Coward called at her house last night alone, paid the board bill that had accrued and, saying that he must change his residence without delay, re moved the two trunks and suit cases which made up their baggage and went > away without a word as to his plans. GIRL DID NOT APPEAR AT BOARDING HOUSE. The landlady says that the girl did not appear at the house after the bonds had been fixed last night. Detectives are searching for the pair in the faint hope that they are some where in hiding in the city, but fur ther prosecution is improbable. In view of their forfeiture of the bonds. After the failure of the couple to ap pear before Recorder Broyles this morning. Chief Beavers sent a tele gram to Coward's former home at Vic toria, Texas, asking if the man was wanted there for any misdemeanor. ; The reply said that while Coward was born there and is well known in the 1 vicinity, there is no charge outstanding against him that the town marshal knows of. Apparently Mrs. Winn’s father, editor of a Teague, Texas, newspaper, has cast her off entirely since the elope ment. Yesterday the young woman wired her father to come to Atlanta and appear today In her behalf when the ease against Coward and herself came to trial. This highly unsympa thetic message came from Teague: ’’Telegram and payment refused. No i answer.” i Along with the couple on their sec ond elopement goes the toy poodle, “Snookums," which was given back to Mrs. Winn when she gave bond. I Said She Preferred Jail to Husband. Detectives of the local police de partment who made the arrests be lieved the young woman was prepared to tell a wholly different story upon the witness stand today than in her first version, when she said that the ' love affair with Coward, which culmi . nated in the elopement, began in a moving picture show at San Antonio. She said yesterday that she would ’ rather go back to the stockade than to 1 her real husband, and the police be i lieve that Coward induced her to a sec ond runaway last night after she had called vainly upon her ftather for help. So far as Coward’s financial trans actions In Atlanta are concerned, the detectives are compelled to admit they were perfectly legitimate. The SSOO I check he cashed at a local bank'was , backed up by large deposits in his name in Texas institutions. He declared, be ' fore disappearing, his side of the story, when aired dn court, would show that he was in no wise to blame for the elopement.

CHICAGO, IN FRENZY HI i. r:s coming, plans BIG DEMONSTRATION Whole City Is in Turmoil in Anticipa tion of the Colonel’s Arrival Today, Partisan Feeling Reaching Climax. Thousands to Greet Train—Bosses Are Plainly Disturbed. CHICAGO, June 15.—Colonel Roosevelt today takes per sonal command of his fight for the Republican nomination for president. At 4 o’clock this afternoon he will arrive in Chicago. A noisy reception by the hosts already gathered to take part in •the demonstration and another smashed precedent will greet him as he steps from the train. For the first time in the history of the Republican party an avowed candidate for the office of president, himself an ex-president, will appear personally on the scene of a convention before which he seeks the office. The noise that is to greet the colonel has already been started. Cheering delegates and cheering persons who are not delegates, have been marching through ho tel lobbies shouting, singing, arguing and making speeches. Their demonstration has accentuated the bitterness and excitement that per. vade the presidential tight. Personal encounters, quickly suppressed by men who separated the warring partisans, broke out half a dozen times in the hotel lobbies, where the demonstration started. Roosevelt songs were inter rupted by thumping cheers for Taft. Incipient Roosevelt speeches have been Interrupted by Taft spielers and have been changed into a riot of meaning less cries and shouts as Taft and Roosevelt partisans rushed up to take part in the fray. Persona! arguments between men of either side have grown into altercations between quickly gath ered Every one about the hotels where the politicians have gathered is in a stage bordering on hysteria. And the demonstration started hours before the colonel was booked to arrive. Everybody Going To Meet the Train. For once Chicago is put in the same category with her country cousins. From indications this morning, every person tn the city interested in politics will try to "go down to see the train come in." The coming of the train is to them the one Important event of the day. Whether the arrival of the Rough Rider means a “stampede" is the one question that is agitating the leaders of both camps. Taft men confidently as serted today It meant nothing of the sort. But the men who make this state ment, most of them, were present four ■years ago when the galleries at the Republican national convention broke into the long Roosevelt demonstration that could not be quieted. One Taft man asserted that the actual coming of the colonel would be an anti-climax. The threat of his coming, he said, had more effect than the actual arrival. He asserted it would help the Taft cause tn have the colonel on the ground. The Roosevelt men are willing to al low them to look at it in that way. They are jubilant at the colonel’s com ing. From the moment he arrives until the convention is over they believe the extra - 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE £ A O Y RE NO colonel will be the center of the fight and they rely on his own statement that he is a better fighter than prophet Fireworks Starts With T. R.’s Arrival. The fireworks will begin with ar rival of the Lake Shore Limited. Thou sands will crowd the station. The demonstration is expected to continue as the colonel goes to his hotel, while he remains in public view and even while he is in his own apartments. It is to grow into a great climax Mon day night at a mass meeting at the Auditorium theater, where Roosevelt is to be the great central figure. There is to be one figure and one speech. Dur ing the hours that the meeting con tinues, and it Is planned to make It a continuous affair, opening early in the evening and lasting until late. Roose velt, according to present plans, will address the crowd. Senator Dixon emphasized the inter est today when he was asked if there would be other speakers at the meet ing. "The gentleman who would have the nerve to make a speech on that occasion, even if it had been announced, ought to go down and take a place on the national committee,” he said. Asked if he thought Colonel Roosevelt would stay during the entire convention, Dix on replied: "Really, I don’t think he knows.” Greeting Unusual / Only in Noise. The Roosevelt men planned to have the reception of the colonel unusual only in one thing—its noisiness. While they say no-specific arrangements have been made for any demonstration, it is known that since the coming of the Oyster Bay candidate was first sug gested as a possibility, on the quiet plans were outlined and every Roose velt booster in Chicago has been asked to f>e on hand. And for that matter a lot of them volunteered to the man agers of the Roosevelt campaign. There is not a question about the welcome. “Will any one meet the colonel’s train?” Dixon was asked. “I guess the porters will be there.as usual," he dryly replied. "Will the committee be on hand?” "There has been no suggestion of such a thing,” Dixon replied. But the coming of the colonel is not to be so entirely overlooked. Senator Dixon, Alexander H. Revell, chairman of the national Roosevelt committee,
